Episode 82 - Super Show Me the Same Old Same Old

Get ready for a nursery rhyme reading, Saudi Arabian, Wyatt gym
flexin episode of the Brothers of Discussion! We’re going to cover
everything from the frill filled house show that is Super Showdown,
to the breath of fresh summer air that is NXTTakeover (and NXT UK),
and finally, another round of “Two Rumors and a Lie”, where I have
to figure out which of these absurd wrestling rumors is quote
unquote “real”, and which one Matt created while taking a dump.
That and so much more is ready to be dissected by the Brothers of
Discussion. Tidbits NXT UK show schedule on the scheduled as ALL
OUT Triple H: “I will just say this to everybody in here, contrary
to I’m sure some of the buzz, the date of August 31 is a date we’ve
had for a long time. That building has been booked with us in
Cardiff, geez, long before WrestleMania 35, I think. We just hadn’t
announced because it wasn’t the right time, and you don’t want to
announce something for a brand six months out or whatever. At least
I don’t, the way I see it. Tonight was the right night to do it. It
had nothing to do with anybody else, to be honest. We will take
place live in primetime in the UK and be on in the afternoon here
in the US, so it is what it is.” Brock promises to cash-in on
Friday Boo This is bordering on False Advertising (Card Subject to
Change) Similar to the NBA? Offseason? Story better than wrestling?
Lars Sullivan tells the story of 3 Blind Mice Yowie Wowie! Bray
gets mega meta with his performances, including Huskiss the Pig!
We’re starting to get some clarity with these puppets representing
the different angles/follies of Bray throughout the years Have we
ever seen self-aware character building like this? WWE cowers
behind familiarity with women’s division, letting Bliss defeat
Carmella/CHarlotte for #1 spot v Bayley, still no shot for Ember
Moon, Liv, Mandy, Sonya, Mickie :( Is this defensible? Slow burn
until inevitable Charlotte v Bayley faceoff? Ziggler and McIntyre
are on opposite sides of the spectrum Dolph getting a substantial
story that has years of background McIntyre is now a stooge for
Shane A year ago I was applauding their destruction of Chad Gable
In my coverage, I even warned myself not to get too excited I am
the fool Is Becky Lynch a badass again? NXT Takeover XXV Fallout
Adam Cole v Johnny Gargano Brings the house down, naturally :) No
panicky Undisupted Era breakup 4 way Tag Title Match Undisputed Era
v Street Profits v Oney Lorcan + Danny Burch v Forgotten Sons
Street Profits finally get a fair shot!! Long term or transitionary
champion for heels? Io Shirai v Shayna Baszler Really strong match,
move for move Io could hold the throne, but the promos and selling
of storylines might be tough. Is this because we haven’t really
built up a legitimate heel on the roster? After Shayna? They’re
ripe with faces (Io, Candace, Mia Jim, Dakota Kai, Xia Li,
Catanzaro…) Tyler Breez v Velveteen Dream Breeze has requested
full-time NXT move! Matt Riddle v Roderick Strong Super hard
hitting, a reminder of how great these guys are at dealing
punishment NXTUK The hunt (Primate + Wild Boar) v Saxon Huxley and
Tyson T-Bone There he goes...there goes saxon huxley...new
catchphrase? Ew Win on stereo flying headbutts They they get jumped
by Gallus, starting a feud Kay Lee Ray v Kasey Owens Perfect
dropkick to turn tide on Widow’s Peak finisher
